A Special Event Featuring Justin Cronin

A Special Event featuring Justin Cronin - the author of the
coast-to-coast bestseller, The Passage

Join
Thurber House for an event you can really sink your teeth into when
award-winning author Justin Cronin reads from his hugely popular novel, The Passage. The first in what will be a
post-apocalyptic vampire trilogy, The
Passage is a relentlessly suspenseful adventure
and an epic chronicle of human endurance in the face of unprecedented
catastrophe and unimaginable danger. After a breach at a secret U.S. government
facility unleashes the monstrous product of a chilling military experiment, it
takes little time for the world as we know it to die, and another to be born –
a new primal landscape of predators and prey. The Passage has been likened to Stephen King’s vastly popular
novel, The Stand.

Cronin is the author of two previous
novels including Mary and O’Neil,
which won the Pen/Hemingway Award and the Stephen Crane Prize, and The Summer Guest. Cronin was the
author-in-residence at La Salle University in Philadephia from 1992-2005. Movie
rights to The Passage, as well as the
next two installments in the trilogy, were recently purchased by Fox 2000. He
currently lives with his family in Houston, Texas where he is a Professor of
English at Rice University.
